Is the Nobel Committee unsure about peace between Armenia and Azerbaijan?

ArmInfo. By rejecting the bid of RA Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and the President of Azerbaijan for the Nobel Peace Prize to US President Donald Trump, the Nobel Committee expressed its uncertainty about the establishment of peace between Armenia and Azerbaijan. Former RA Deputy Defense Minister Artak Zakaryan wrote about this on his Facebook page.

"The Nobel Committee rejected the joint bid of Pashinyan and Aliyev for the Nobel Peace Prize to the US President." According to Donald Trump's social media post (https://www.trumpstruth.org/statuses/42220), he has resolved eight conflicts, and the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to a woman no one knows and nothing is known about. Various sources indicate that the woman who received the award is better known as a supporter of Hamas and a defender of its interests. From President Trump's post, it is clear that he is also offended by Norway and is angry about what happened. He noted that he acted on behalf of the United States during the conflict resolution. "The United States and its president should have received eight peace prizes for resolving each conflict," Artak Zakarian noted.

He wondered whether it could be assumed that, by rejecting the joint application of Pashinyan and Aliyev, the Nobel Committee was unsure about the issue of "peace" between Armenia and Azerbaijan. "Or does it not attach importance to this? I think that is also the case. As in previous years, there was uncertainty about the issues of "peace" between Iran and Israel, Israel and Hamas, or Pakistan and India. President Trump also includes these conflicts among the problems he has resolved and for which a peace prize was expected. In previous years, Norwegian MP Kristian Tybring-Gjedden, US Congressman Darrell Isa, the Pakistani government, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet, and US Congressman Claudia Tenney appealed to the Norwegian Nobel Committee to award the Nobel Peace Prize to US President Trump. However, Artak Zakarian emphasized, "The Nobel Peace Prize for 2026 has been awarded to South African lawyer and human rights activist Navanethem "Navi" Pillay. The laureate was announced on October 9, 2026, in Oslo. She was awarded the prize for her significant contribution to strengthening international law, protecting human rights, and promoting the prosecution of war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide. Over the years, she has served as a judge of the High Court of South Africa (the first woman not from a white minority to hold this position), President of the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda, a judge of the International Criminal Court, and from 2008 to 2014, she served as the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights. In 2026, the prize fund is 12 million Swedish kronor (about $1.21 million), which comes with a gold medal and a diploma.
